GoCoin™ and Ziftr® Complete Merger Agreement
International blockchain payment platform GoCoin and mobile wallet, eCommerce loyalty and credit card processing company Ziftr today announced the completion of their merger agreement, creating a new fintech leader in payment and loyalty innovations.
The combined company -- known as GoCoin going forward -- will offer merchants a unified checkout system that processes digital currency and credit card transactions in compliance with PCI security standards. GoCoin will also offer a hybrid wallet giving consumers the choice of paying with VISA, Mastercard, Blockchain currencies or loyalty coupons and points.
GoCoin recently crossed two major thresholds; in just under two years, the company processed its one millionth Blockchain payment and achieved its first cash flow positive month.
"In the second half of 2015, we saw 40% month-over-month top-line growth," said GoCoin co-founder and CEO Steve Beauregard. "Combining with Ziftr positions GoCoin to drive revenues through profitable merchant services beyond digital currency payment processing."
Now that the merger is complete, the combined company will focus on integrating Ziftr's credit card processing capabilities, mobile wallet and customer loyalty program into GoCoin's blockchain payment platform and rolling it out to GoCoin's current merchant base of 12,000+.
"By adding Ziftr's technology to GoCoin's existing payment platform, we're providing merchants with a highly secure solution that allows them to accept digital currency and credit cards at a low rate and incentivize their customers with a rewards system based on blockchain technology," said Bob Wilkins, CEO of Ziftr. "Consumers, on the other hand, will be able to store their payment methods in our mobile wallet for anytime access, and then view these payment methods all in one place once they're ready to make a transaction."
"We're excited to bring to the financial technology market the first full-featured platform that truly has what it takes to bring digital currency into the mainstream," said Wilkins.
GoCoin is one of the three major blockchain payment processors and the only one processing Litecoin, Dogecoin, Tether and new experimental coins in addition to Bitcoin. With 12,000+ merchants, 90,000+ monthly blockchain transactions and a healthy pipeline of 150+ signups per week, GoCoin has attracted marquee brands like PayPal, RE/MAX UK, Shopify, and CheapAir. Based in Los Angeles, GoCoin has gained recent traction with entertainment companies such as LIONSGATE Films and MovieTickets.com.
